This board has been a great help in my year long search for a CUT. I haven't taken the leap yet, but think I should get your input since we have moved and are in a little dirrerent situation.
We are on 5 acres, mostly wooded with about 1.5 acres to mow, LOTS of trees.
My intended uses are: Mowing, pulling the aereator, the spreader and the roller, moving firewood, pushing snow and maintaining 350 feet gravel drive. Also looking at several lanscaping projects including rock and retaining walls. Gardening and clearing some of the woods for a trail.
Lawn is flat to gentle rolling. Woods are steep and rocky but have a good path.
I was thinking about getting a ZTR commercial walk behind to mow with and then getting an older CUT (Kubota 7100,7200 or Ford 1210) for the other work.
But now I'm wondering if a single unit with power steering and a belly mower would do the jab and be better (Like a BX, or Kubota 2100, 1700, 1750)
I would like to get a loader eventually, but am willing to start out with a dirt scoop and box blade.
Really don't want to spend over teh $6000 mark and don't want a project tractor.
Currently use a Deere 318 with a front blade and Cat 0 3 pt.
Can anyone help me focus my thinking from the 2 unit option or the single unit option?
I appreceiate all the help.
